Did you know that thyroid cancer is the most common kind of endocrine cancer? While it often develops silently, it's usually treatable if found early. Genetic factors and radiation may increase the risk of thyroid cancer.
Thyroid cancer starts in the thyroidโa small, butterfly-shaped gland in the neck. This gland produces hormones that control metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature. When thyroid cells mutate, they grow uncontrollably and form tumors.
โ About 44,000 new cases of thyroid cancer are expected in the U.S. in 2025, making up 2.2% of all new cancer cases.
โ Women are three times more likely to develop thyroid cancer than men.
โ There may not be any symptoms early on. Later signs may include a neck lump, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or neck pain.
Better awareness ensures that patients speak with their doctors earlier if they notice any symptoms. It also supports ongoing research for better treatments. All of this can help save lives.
At Biologics, we stand with patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers who are helping to make progress in the fight against thyroid cancer.
